Street Division>Street Maintenance

In order to prolong the life of City streets, the Street Division fills potholes in streets, replaces damaged concrete panels, and performs crack sealing.

To report a pothole on your street, call the Street Division at 673-6885 .

The Street Division does street sweeping twice a year, in the spring to pick up accumulated sand from snow removal operations and again in the fall after a large percentage of the leaves have fallen. The City has one street sweeper which begins work at 4:00 a.m. while traffic volume is very low.

Seal Coating

Every year the City seal coats approximately 100 blocks of street. This process consists of spraying asphalt emulsion road oil on a street then immediately applying limestone chip rock over the oil. The aggregate is then rolled as soon as possible to ensure the adhesion of the aggregate to the binder and pavement surface. The process has multiple benefits in that it seals out water from penetrating the road structure, seals cracks, provides a skid resistant wearing course surface and is cost effective.
